Internet Crash

There is a widespread platform crash – many of world’s biggest websites are crashing, including Amazon, the UK government, Reddit, the Financial Times, Emojis and many more.  At the time of publishing – the reasons are unknown.

Nice that Broadwindsor.org is still up and running, thanks to our servers with RedGerry.com 🙂

Have You Lost Your Bank Card In Broadwindsor?

It’s a horrible realisation when you discover you have lost your Bank Credit/Debit card.  A Lloyds Bank card was found just outside Broadwindsor Community Stores by a young man yesterday morning.  The name on the card is not a local one so please make sure any visitors are made aware too.

The bank card is currently being held at the shop.  If the owner goes in and can match the details on the card, it will be returned to them. Obviously they cannot hold it indefinitely, so it will be returned to the Bank if no one steps forward.
